Ronglih Liao
Douglass M. and Nola Leishman Professor of Cardiovascular Disease
BioDr. Liao is a Professor of Medicine and co-Director of Stanford Cardiac Amyloid Center. The major goal of her research program focuses on understanding the mechanisms that underlie the pathophysiology of heart failure and developing novel treatments to combat this process. Her laboratory has played an international leading role in the study of amyloid light chain (AL) cardiomyopathy, a rare and fatal form of cardiovascular disease. We have described the underlying pathophysiologic basis for amyloid cardiomyopathy and found that the circulating amyloidogenic light chain proteins that characterize this disease directly result in a specific cardiotoxic response. Consequently, our research work has redefined AL cardiomyopathy and has raised new treatment approaches. More recently, her research efforts have expanded to include transthyretin (ATTR) cardiac amyloidosis.
In line with her goal of revealing novel therapeutic strategies for patients with cardiovascular disease, our efforts have also focused on characterizing and harnessing endogenous cardiac regenerative mechanisms. Her laboratory initially demonstrated the therapeutic potential of exogenous primitive muscle cells delivered to the injured heart. This work was among the earliest milestones in the field and served as the basis for an international trial of cell-based therapy. Subsequently, Liao lab identified and characterized a population of cardiac progenitor cells and its relationship and dynamic activity following cardiac injury in the adult heart. Her laboratory aims to reveal the molecular mechanisms regulating the endogenous regenerative capacity of the heart and to harness such repair mechanisms for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Dr. Liao has lectured extensively on both amyloid cardiomyopathy and stem cell biology, and have maintained a history of independent NIH funding in these areas for more than two decades.
Over the course of her academic career, she has taken the greatest pride in mentoring the next generation of scientists. Dr. Liao has had the privilege to supervise several dozen students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty, many of whom have gone on to independent academic careers at the highest institutions. Her contribution to the advancement of scientific knowledge also includes lecturing at various university and academic institutions as well as at scores of conferences and symposia locally, nationally, and internationally. -

Kang Rui Garrick Lim
Postdoctoral Scholar, Chemical Engineering
BioI am a materials chemist from Singapore and presently, a Stanford Energy Postdoctoral Fellow with Prof. Matteo Cargnello and Prof. Thomas F. Jaramillo at Stanford University. In 2027, I will start as a Nanyang Assistant Professor at the School of Materials Science & Engineering in Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. I completed my PhD and Master's degree in chemistry at Harvard University under Prof. Joanna Aizenberg, and my Bachelor's degree in chemistry from the National University of Singapore (NUS).
At Stanford and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (2025-), I work on colloidal catalyst design for CO2 conversion as part of the SUNCAT Center for Interface Science and Catalysis. During my PhD at Harvard (2020-2025), I integrated colloidal templating and self-assembly concepts into catalyst design to design 3D macroporous inverse opal structures bearing partially embedded dilute alloy nanoparticles to serve as a model thermocatalytic platform. Previously, at NUS and IMRE A*STAR in Singapore (2018-2020), I synthesized MXene nanohybrids for electrocatalysis and designed core-shell quantum dots for light harvesting. My broader research interest is to leverage on colloidal design of catalytic architectures–their active sites and immediate environment–to bridge the materials gap in catalyst design for low carbon energy research. -

Erik Limpitlaw
Digital Collections Licensing Librarian, Acquisitions Department
Current Role at StanfordMy primary responsibility of the Digital Collections Licensing Librarian is to review and negotiate e-resource licenses and related documents on behalf of Stanford University Libraries (SUL) with publishers, resource aggregators, data sources and other service providers. I primarily work on the negotiation of document terms but am often brought into pricing negotiations with vendors as well as work with vendors in creating terms which have not historically worked with academia.
I work to ensure that the terms of these agreements meet SUL and Stanford University’s policies and requirements, that their terms of use are consistent with the needs of Stanford faculty, students, and staff, and that the cost meets SUL’s funding capabilities and is the best available negotiated price.
I also recommend to Associate University Librarians (AUL) for Collections, the Deputy University Librarian and/or the University Librarian whether a proposed license is acceptable and whether there are any issues and risks to consider. I am currently reviewing distinguishing terms across licensing various e-resources such as datasets and streaming media and improving internal document and licensing workflows.
I also serve, as needed and as appropriate, on SUL committees or other groups addressing Stanford’s e-resource needs, planning, and evaluation. I also serve as the liaison for e-resource matters to the relevant counterparts in Stanford’s Coordinate Libraries (Crown Law, Lane Medical, and Graduate School of Business). -

BioThroughout my career I have been extensively involved in post-graduate medical education and training of residents and fellows. I served on the AGA Future Trends Committee tasked with reporting the future of gastroenterology training programs and have been admitted into the AGA Academy of Educators. I joined Stanford for the incredible opportunity to be part of a dynamic division with excellent and dedicated faculty where one can achieve their greatest potential. I share the honor and privilege of leading our fellowship program and in the joy of teaching such talented and inspiring fellows. Together we strive to provide the best educational experience for our fellows to become outstanding gastroenterologists and future leaders in academic medicine.
My subspecialty areas of focus are inflammatory bowel disease and general gastroenterology.
